1. How would you describe your style?
My style is all about effortless glam—keeping things natural and glowing while still feeling polished. I love a fresh, radiant complexion with a subtle pop of color, like a bold lip or a little highlighter to add that extra shine. It’s all about balance—looking put-together but not overly done!

2. Can you share a few beauty rules?
One rule I always stick to is to hydrate my skin first. Healthy, hydrated skin is the best base for any makeup look. I also believe that less is more—focus on enhancing your features rather than covering them up. And, of course, I never skip SPF, even if it’s cloudy outside. Sun protection is key for healthy skin in the long run!

3. What is your essential beauty tool?
My beauty blender is my essential tool—it’s such a game-changer. It blends everything seamlessly for a natural, airbrushed finish, whether I’m applying foundation, concealer, or even blush. It’s super versatile and gives me that perfect, smooth look every time.

4. What is your go-to makeup look?
My go-to makeup look is all about a flawless, natural base with a touch of glam. I love a glowing, dewy complexion with a soft, peachy blush and a bit of bronzer to add warmth. I’ll add a little soft eyeliner or a quick coat of mascara and finish it off with a nude or pink lip. It’s fresh, wearable, and perfect for any occasion!

5. Can you share three beauty essentials you always have in your bag?
I always have lip gloss with me for a quick, glossy touch-up—it’s the easiest way to add some shine. I also keep a reliable eyeliner in my bag because it’s a game-changer for instantly defining my eyes. And, of course, a travel-sized toner and the Source Beauty, Baby Powder Perfume are a must to stay fresh and keep everything feeling balanced throughout the day!

6. Walk us through your morning and nighttime routines…
In the morning, I start with a gentle cleanser to wash away any residue from the night before, then I tone to balance my skin and hydrate it with a good moisturizer. I always finish with SPF to protect my skin. On days I’m feeling a bit tired, I’ll add concealer for that extra boost. For my nighttime routine, I double cleanse—first with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and then with a gentle foam cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. After that, I apply a serum, a nourishing moisturizer and an eye cream to keep things hydrated. It’s all about giving my skin the love it deserves to wake up fresh!

7. Finally, are there any beauty trends you’re obsessed with right now?
Oh, 100%! One trend I’m absolutely obsessed with right now is skinimalism. It’s all about embracing your natural skin, and I’m here for it. Just a bit of concealer, a blush, and letting your skin breathe—it’s so fresh and youthful! Another trend I love is bold blush placement—applying it a little higher on the cheekbones for that lifted look. It’s such a vibe! And, of course, glossy lips are having a major moment! I can’t get enough of that plump, hydrated, high-shine gloss. It just gives your whole look that effortless, radiant glow. So, so cute!
